UK renews backing for International Space University scholarships

The ISU provides graduate-level training at its Central Campus in Strasbourg, France and at other locations, such as Boston and Adelaide. Its curriculum covers disciplines related to space programmes and enterprises, for example: space science, space engineering, systems engineering, space policy and law, business and management and space and society.

This year the agency is making a total of £95,000 available to be shared between the successful UK citizen applicants, with a deadline for applicants of 2 February. Note that any money awarded will be paid directly to the ISU on your behalf.

Two programmes are available for support, if you are a UK citizen – the Space Studies Programme and the MSS Programme – and you should apply via the ISU website. This includes application forms and further instructions.

International Space University

The education and research organisation was founded in 1987 as a non profit organisation.

It describes itself as follows:

“ISU is the sole university worldwide devoted entirely to space education since 1987. Today, ISU is made up of a unique network around the world with a Central Campus in Strasbourg, with hubs in the USA and the AsiaPacific region, and partnerships with leading space organizations worldwide. ISU is a 35-year success story with 5400 alumni shaping the international space ecosystem in 110 countries including astronauts and entrepreneurs along with current and former space industry and government leaders.”
